About Me



I edited my profile in Ray Bone's Loving Embrace. !

I'm a cynical bastard trying to Enjoy Life. I work hard everyday and don't have time for little things like sleep. Most of my hours are spent doing homework, Working,and hanging out with my friends. I have a tendency in life to dream huge then fall on my face. I used to find it discouraging, but now I see it is what makes me so tough (mentally that is folks, physically I'd get my ass beat by a 14 year old girl). Otherwise I'm just a nice guy trying to make the most of what I'm given.

My Interests

Film, Music , Books , Writing, Beer, My friends, Cards, Sleep (what little I get), The Human Mind, Evolution, Dysfunction, Relationships *which goes along with dysfunction*, Societies, Theology, Random thoughts, Different people, Warmth, Passion, Detroit Basketball, Sports in general.
